Oh man, I’m happy that you and other people enjoyed it – I adore this film. But it was one of the saddest things I’ve ever seen. It was like watching a bunch of rednecks murder all the innocent inhabitants of David Bowie’s Labyrinth. Only (with the exception of the Goblin King himself of course) I feel MUCH more strongly connected to these unusual people. So applying the phrase “it was fun as hell!” to something so relentlessly heart-breaking for me is a bit…disconcerting, haha. Lovely review though. Such a Lovecraftian/Barker dream.

Thank you for telling me that, I believe I will wait for the director’s cut.

You may want to wait, Emily, a bit of time because the chances of Barker’s intended Director’s Cut coming to fruition are looking pretty good. The footage was found, a few have seen it, and word is that it could enhance the flow of the film a significant degree.

That being said, the creature make-up in this film is still one of my all-time favorites. It wasn’t until HELLBOY II last year that i felt something was genuinely comparable in terms of quality and quantity.

I’ve read the original story and I enjoyed it, I’ll have to see how the movie compares. Thanks for the review! :)

Man, I had no idea about its production woes. Now that you mention it, I can see where the movie was drawn astray, but it still kicks a lot of fun ass.

I’ll have to keep my eye out for some DVD news if Clive can actually pull that together. That’d be awesome. :)

I recently discovered this when I purchased it on DVD. It’s really an amazing motion picture, but the sad thing is we didn’t see all that Clive Barker had to offer. I’ve read in interviews of him where he mentions that the studio made him change things and cut a lot of the movie out. The studio wanted another “Hellraiser” – the Midians, or whatever they’re called, are not supposed to be as wicked and diabolical as the cenobites, but the studio wanted this, so a lot of stuff about the Midians was cut. Clive wants to go into the studio vault to search for the deleted scenes for a special edition DVD.
